About Project 180 Sarasota,
Inc.
Founded in 2008 by Barbara Richards,
Project 180 Sarasota, Inc. (Project 180) addresses
the need for prisoner reentry services in Sarasota County. Barbara
envisioned an organization dedicated to helping formerly
incarcerated individuals rebuild their lives, aiming to reduce
poverty, homelessness, and unemployment and improve community
safety.
Project 180 remains committed to its
mission, with an approximate annual budget of $600,000, assets
surpassing $1 million, and a dedicated staff of four. The
organization partners with state and local corrections agencies and
local nonprofits to facilitate clients’ stability in six critical
areas: recovery, housing, employment, financial matters,
relationships, and healthcare. Key initiatives include the
Residential Program for men in recovery and the First Week Out
Program, an initiative to assist men and women returning to
Sarasota County from state prison. Project 180 also conducts
educational programs in the Sarasota County Correctional Facility,
formerly the Sarasota County Jail, and hosts the nation’s only
annual lecture series on prisoner reentry. Learn more at www.project180reentry.org.
